World War 2: The dropping of the atomic bombs on japan was justifiable for what Japan did and ultimatley saved thousands of american lives by ending the war quickly. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? I just want to get some opinions.

He donates to charities, can speak multiple languages, is not obssessed with religion, and has enough money to make any country bow down to him ;)...

Plus he's smart...why don't you try to program a computer?

If he can run a company as GINORMOUS as Microsoft, surely he can give America a shot..

Yahoo has it up front on its video collection today, but this is not the only day to listen. And not just the fragment about "I have a dream," but the whole speech, and the context of the speech.

It was an enormous, entirely peaceful, rally in Washington, DC. And much of the progress you can see, the legal issues he mentioned, was due to the energy generated by that rally, and that speech. Listen to it again. It's not just for blacks, it's for everyone; in fact, Dr. King makes that point.

At 39 I can remember the dark Thatcher years of boom and bust, record interest rates, banckrupcies and house reposessions. You lot have never had it so good. Come on now who will admit that we are actually doing all right under Tone?

*Sigh* I know there's never been an atheist U.S. president in history (or at least publicly known), but I think this answer I got from 006 summed my opinion up pretty well..


"America would be better off with an atheist president, because he would not give precedence to one religious affiliation over any others, and he would base his decisions purely on what is for the greater good of America, without being influenced by the prophecies of whatever religion he follows. It's no coincidence that the Bible calls for the re-establishment of Israel and our unilateral support for that country which has different laws for different races (something which is totally un-constitutional).

God did not choose GWB to lead this nation, we the people did, for better or for worse. "

This is a true story:
I needed a skull to perform this ritual to Azagthoth, so I figured it would be ok if the fresh skull I used was my grandmother's. So I went to the cemetery during their open hours, and started digging. The police got there about the same time I made it to the casket. They were talking about pressing charges, but I ******* paid for her to be ******* buried there. Can my lawyer help me out? Seriously, folks.

Doesn't our Government have Three levels of Government for checks and balances? Unless I misunderstood, even though it was brought to his attention that basically no one is thrilled about the continued war in Iraq, he doesn't care what anyone else thinks. UHHH .... remember Democracy?

I have been quoted £2.5k for a Press Release, but am loath to shell out that which I can ill afford without some guarantee of the work being published.

I have spent over 5 years attempting to interest the press in a gross miscarriage of justice which has left me devoid of the;

Right to Employment

Human Rights Act

Geneva 01/12/1948

Article 6 & 10

as also;

EEC

Brussels 05/10/1`968

Paragraph 1612.

So far it has cost me my entire family, as also any hope of pension 01/2015. My health as also that of my family has also suffered.

Legal aid is "conveniently" unavailable for a so-called "civil-case"
& pro-bono is equally impossible for "blue-collar" technicians.

My original solicitor, Clarke-Brookes, West Brom, financed by the T&GWU did not bother to attend court. Meantime the union refuse to replace him, & both have simply "dumped" me.

Despite receiving income support / incapacity ben. since 10/09/01, I am denied rent / ct benifit by sandwell mbc.

All intellectuals agree that a holistic education for all, is the panecea for all ills. Strangely, from the center to the state governments , politicians talk about 100% literacy, but there is no matching grant towards '' Education to all ".May be we are short of resources, but definitely short of the will power too. Do politicians feel that : If everybody becomes aware and begins to think, they cannot fool the people anymore in the name of caste, religion, language etc and there would be no pseudo issues for elections ? Having only educated people stand for elections, will be the 1st sign of importance given to education.....there are rules every where , laws for every thing......and is it not a prerogative of our government to see that an educated person should pass the laws in the parliament or state assemblies ?......This is the importance we are giving to education.....how do we expect our country to progress ?

And, after the government misappropriates and misuses the tax money, feeds it into a system of welfare mooches?

Because, sweetie, they think that they're more compassionate than us "evil conservatives"

But mommy...conservatives give more to charity than liberals! [1) And private charity does so much more! [2]

I know sweetie...but it makes them feel better
